Figure 1 PII Proteins Directly Sense Glutamine for NAGK Activation and Arginine Biosynthesis in Plants, Except in Brassicaceae PII activates arginine biosynthesis by antagonizing the feedback inhibition of arginine upon the committed step of arginine biosynthesis, NAGK. In every plant taxa except Brassicaceae, the family that contains the model flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana, glutamine is directly sensed by binding to a conserved C-terminal extension, termed the Q loop, of PII. In the case of Brassicaceae, glutamine is not required for activation of NAGK by PII. In both cases, bound ATP appears to be required for PII to antagonize NAGK feedback inhibition.
